What Is Ostarine?

A SARM is a compound that is intended to act similarly to an anabolic steroid, but be much more selective in its action. SARMs are considered to possess a wider spectrum of clinical use options when compared to anabolic steroids.

SARMs work just like steroids but do not produce the growth effect on prostate and other secondary organs.

Ostarine in particular exerts its anabolic effects on muscle tissue almost exclusively.

Ostarine was originally developed as a treatment for muscle wasting and muscle loss prevention, specifically in cancer and osteoporosis patients.

Ostarine is still undergoing clinical trials. Eventually it may be a prescription drug used for muscle wasting, atrophy, and hormone and/or testosterone replacement therapy.

Uses: increase and maintenance of lean muscle tissue, increase of stamina, increase of fitness level, effects similar to anabolic steroids

It works by binding to the androgen receptors and increasing protein synthesis thereby resulting in muscle gains.

It is extremely versatile – has been called most well rounded SARM.

Ostarine Uses:

Lean muscle gain (bulk):

Muscle gain on ostarine is significant but not as much as a steroid like dianabol

All muscle gains will be kept and will be lean gains

Common bulking dose: 25 mg/day for 4-6 weeks

Can expect 6 lbs of lean, keepable gains on above cycle

Though not recommended, users sometimes use doses as high as 35 mg/day – PCT is suggested when dosing this high

Losing body fat (cut):

Ostarine will maintain muscle mass while reducing calorie intake

Can cut without needing to worry about muscle or strength loss

Common cutting dose: 12.5 – 15 mg/day for 4-6 weeks

Above dosing cycle will have no side effect or suppression

Recomposition (gaining muscle and losing body fat simultaneously):

This is where Ostarine is very effective

Ostarine has nutrition partaking effect: calories are taken from fat stores, and calorie intake is fed the muscle tissue

user report that ostarine taken at maintenance calories produces weight loss while also producing strength and muscle mass

Since Ostarine is not liver toxic, you can run it longer than 4 weeks for recomp

Common recomp cycle: 12.5 – 25 mg for 4 – 8 weeks (to get best recomp effect diet must also be optimized to where 1. calories are just above maintenance and 2. 30% of calories are coming from lean protein sources)

Injury Prevention:

Ostarine has application as a compound to be used for rehab of injuries, particularly bone and tendon related injuries

This is because Ostarine promotes anabolism in bone as well as skeletal muscle tissue

Common dose for injury prevention and improvement in joint movement: 12.5 mg/day

Positive results can be seen in just 6 – 8 days with the above dosing

Benefits Of Ostarine:

Increases strength and muscle mass

Good for body recomp (burning fat and building muscle while staying the same weight)

Excellent endurance and cardio effects

Known (and developed specifically) for it's joint healing abilities and reducing muscle wasting

Ostarine Compared To Steroids/Prohormones (Advantages):

No need for on cycle supports such as milk thistle for the liver, policosanol or RYR for cholesterol etc.

Some suppression may be present at doses of 25mg+ run for longer than 4 weeks, however a stringent PCT of prescription SERMs like Nolva or Clomid is not necessary.

High oral bioavailability without significant damage to your liver as with oral steroids/prohormones.

Great sense of well being while on, without the aggression which can often detrimentally impact users daily lives.

No need for a long time period off between cycles. The recommended time of period for normal cycles would be Time on + PCT, so for a typical 6 week cycle and 4 week PCT, a user would have to wait another 10 weeks after PCT to start another cycle.

Ostarine Dosing Information:

Dosing protocols will vary depending on goals but men will commonly use 25-30 mg per day and women use 12.5 mg per day for cycles of 4 to 12 weeks.

Ostarine can be used for periods of as little as 4 weeks and as long as 12 weeks. A recovery cycle won't be necessary for cycles of 4 weeks in length, however once you span it out to 8-12 weeks then you will need a recovery supplement. In this case you would want to use Red-PCT at 3 capsules a day for 30 days in a row.

Longer cycles are recommended for optimal results.

For an adult male (kids don't buy this product please), I would personally take a daily dose of 37.5 mgs.

(More not necessary, a lower dose of 25 mg is also good.)

For Ostarine you may want to spread out your dosing to – example: 12.5 mg with breakfast, 12.5 mg with lunch and 12.5 mg with dinner.

I prefer to space out my dosing rather than take the entire dosage at once because it keeps the concentration of Ostarine in the blood steady.

I also find that if I take too much at once it can cause headaches.

3-6 week cycles are best.

The Best Ostarine Diet To Follow:

Dieting is easy. If you want to gain weight you eat more food, if you want to lose weight you eat less food.

Will Ostarine Be Banned Soon?

Every so often you come across a supplement that is unlike any other supplement.

Every so often you come across a supplement that actually works to build muscle and burn fat.

When you come across these supplements you can rest assured that they are very likely to go away soon.

Every supplement that actually works tends to get banned sooner or later. So when you find these supplements, you need to act quick.

Will Ostarine be banned in all forms soon? We have no idea.

Ostarine in sport and athletics

“Selective androgen receptor modulators may be used by athletes to assist in training and increase physical stamina and fitness, potentially producing effects similar to anabolic steroids. For this reason, SARMs were banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency in January 2008…” (source)

OSTARINE RESULTS

“I just finished 60 days of Ostarine(30mg a day) and I’m waiting on my 4th bottle to come in the mail. By the time the 4th bottle arrives I will have been off Ostarine for 2 weeks. And then I will take 20mg for 30 days. Followed by your recommendation of Red PcT.

I’ve been off Ostarine for a week and I feel fine. No bloodwork though.

“I love Ostarine! I’ve never done steroids but this stuff is amazing. I plan to use it on and off for the rest of my life.”

I’m 30 years old, I’ll get some blood work done the right way on my next Ostarine cycle the proper way and post the results for all to see.” (source)

Where To Buy Ostarine?

Ostarine can only be sold as a research chemical right now. That means if you buy it, it should be for research purposes only. Ostarine is no longer sold as a “traditional” supplement, you can purchase it only as a “research chemical” which you can purchase here. I am not saying you should or should not purchase it, I simply try to give you the facts.

Happy lifting, and have a nice day.

Yeah he has a bunch of products that do different things. I like the scope of them.

I imagine though that the legality aspect is a big reason why Red Supplements doesn’t have a product with ostarine.

I’m wondering if he plans to use it again in the future, cycles on and off, didn’t like something about it for himself personally or some other reason. He says a lot of great things about it, but began the article mentioning how it’s not part of his current routine.

[…] Ostarine, what is it? Ostarine is a “selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM)” that's used to increase testosterone levels in the body by acting strictly on androgen receptors. What does this mean for the user? This means results that are steroid-like gains without the side effects and lengthy recover phases that follow a steroid cycle!! […]
